ouch...but oooh so pretty!

Well let me start by saying I am a HUGE baby when it comes to pain. With that said,here's my story. I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for a long time.About 8 months ago,I started to do my research on it. All the risks,the problems,the healing and cleaning process. I even watched videos of other people getting it done so that I would know what to expect! My boyfriend,coworkers,and family did not approve. But I talked to my boss and he told me that I wouldn't lose my job over it. So I didn't care. I was ... read more

Not too eventful nostril!

Let me introduce myself, in a kind of anonymous way! I'm sixteen, I live in the UK and before this nose piercing, my only experience with body modifications was my gunned lobes... and watching my mother get her ankle get tattooed on a rather drunken night in Ayia Napa, but that's another story! I don't know why I suddenly wanted my nostril pierced, because, as I've said, I'd never had any interest in piercings before. In fact, when my (younger) sister had another set of lobe piercings, I felt sick! So, I was a shocked as anyone when I found ... read more

My Super Easy Septum Piercing

I have been considering/becoming increasingly obsessed with the idea of getting a nose ring of some sort for the past couple months. I was torn between getting a nostril ring or a septum ring and, ultimately, I went with the latter, after looking at tons of pictures of girls with septum rings, watching YouTube videos of the process, and reading about experiences on BME. I figured a septum ring would better suit my nose, which isn't giant, but isn't small by any means. For this piercing, I decided to go to a fairly new, increasingly reputable nearby shop that opened ... read more

My septum

My Septum Ok this is the story of my very first professional piercing, and although I have before the age of 18 had roughly 45 (not saying by any means that this is a lot seeing as I know its not but for my area it is) a good deal of them re-pierces. I was looking to get a new piercing and I went around asking my friends what I should get because I was running out of new places with out going down stairs, and I refuse to get my tongue, I've already had a 2g through my cheek ... read more

My self nose piercing experience

So I've been wanting to get my nose pierced for quite some time now because I think it just looks cute. I'd already gotten an eyebrow piercing years ago and I couldn't see paying for a nose piercing when I could just as easily do it myself at home. I've attempted other facial piercings on my own and the only reason I didn't keep them was because I did not have the correct jewelry at the time. So, it was evening after I'd gotten home from work I had made up my mind that I would just do it then. ... read more

My long-awaited septum piercing

Hello, let me tell you about my first real piercing experience! For over two years, I have wanted a septum piercing. However, I was too much of a chicken to actually get the piercing done - until now. Doing research about good quality piercers in the area, I found a piercing studio with a very good reputation. The web site looked nice and displayed pictures of a neat looking place. I did some more research to be sure this would be the place I would get my first piercing done (not counting 2x lobe piercings done at a hairdresser at ... read more

YAY for secret holy noses!

I've always been into piercing, and have always had a list in my head of the piercings I want in my lifetime. My nipples were first, and I was fine with them being my only piercing. There were things I really wanted, and things I would consider if I was bored or ran out of other stuff to pierce. A septum piercing was never, ever on that list, until recently. I can't explain all the reasons we decide to get pierced. There are some things that serve a purpose like tongue piercings and genital piercings. But, a lot if it ... read more

What happens at art camp, stays at art camp!

As most of us fans of body mods know, the work environment is not particularly conducive to piercings. I know where I work at (a restaurant) employees aren't allowed to have any visible piercings besides ears (as long as they're not gauged) and maybe a nostril stud on a girl. As a result I never really gave a lot of thought to facial piercings. I wanted one, maybe in my lip, but I knew I couldn't get away with anything visible. One day, however, a few of us who had just clocked out were sitting around talking at a table ... read more

Getting my nose pierced. Totaly worth it!

I had always wanted to get some sort of piercing (navel, nose or helix) but I am extremely scared of needles. I admired that my sister had gotten her tongue and her navel pierced and my mom had gotten a helix piercing and her navel done with my sister. Since I was twelve I thought about piercings a lot. Two years later my mom and I were at a clothing store and while I was in the change room I just asked 'Mom, can I get my nose pierced?' I was thinking about it, and how easy it would be ... read more

An International Piercing Effort - Making My Dreams Come True

My life so far, in 18 short years, has consisted of three main dreams and goals: Becoming a professional musician, traveling the world, and becoming modified. The first step in that set of dreams was acquiring the 12 ear piercings I had desired from a very young age. Next, getting accepted into a highly-respected music school. Then, my treble clef tattoo. Now, in perhaps the most drastic measure of all, I uprooted my life for two months to travel around the other side of the Atlantic – spending two months going around the United Kingdom and Ireland - seeing what ... read more
